Arbor Day Farms

My Dad gets some brownie points for finding this place.

Arbor Day Farms in Nebraska City, NE is pretty cool.  It's about 30-45 minutes away from us.

They have a trail that you can walk along and a huge treehouse and this fun little kids discovery place.

There are musical instruments, a tree swing/hammock place, 

huge building blocks, etc....

It is such a lovely place to walk around and let the kids have fun.  Quite relaxing.

Here is a peek into one of our little adventures to Arbor Day Farms:

 What on earth is this face????!!! Ha

Someone didn't brush their hair that morning.  At some point in these pictures you will notice I made an effort to salvage a hairstyle onto these unruly tresses.

{right} This is the adorable 3 year old's "choke-hold". (also lovingly referred to as a hug. haha)

This is a fun section with just a bunch of random branches, stumps, and twigs where you can build things.  Dan helped them put up a tee-pee.

(is that really how you spell that?  It looks gross. lol)

Balancing on a log.

Somebody else is a little fuzzy on top.  It was a bit rainy that day.  The ponytail I put in Michaela's hair just was not match for those little curling, whispy hairs around her face!

My crazy bunch

These are the swings.  They are just a bunch of large scarves that you can tie up to the tree house to make swings and hammocks and stuff.  This is a big hit with the kids!  Lots of giggling!

Jake's smile on command. ha

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a seven year old girl thinking she's pretty hot stuff.  I asked her to take a picture and she immediately popped herself into this barbie/miss america pose.

no.  I did not teach her this.  This is innate girl.

Dan found some antlers.  This is Lilly's growling animal face! lol

Walking along the trail.

Proof.  Fall is here.
